POLYGON SHAPE INDICES
=====================
Description
-----------
This algorithm perfmorms some spatial statistics for each feature of a polygons layer. The new values calculated will be
added to the attribute table of the output layer. Spatial statistics available are:
- area
- perimeter
- perimeter / area
- perimeter / square root of the area
- maximum distance
- maximum distance / area
- maximum distance / square root of the area
- shape index
By default, the resulting layer is added in the map canvas as a shapefile, so you can easlily access to the attribute
table within QGIS. You can also save the results as a csv file and load it later in a text editor.
Parameters
----------
- ``Shapes[Vector]``: polygons layer
Outputs
-------
- ``Shape Index[Vector]``: resulting layer
